I’ve spent 3 evenings trying to get a few mesh devices setup, and after numerous problems, I’m putting them back in the box. I’ll come back at the end of January and see if some updates have been made, but I don’t have the time to alpha test these devices for Particle. – The app hangs on Android –…

So is rc26 now out? If so, where do they make such announcements? I’ve been looking for that and this is the first I’m reading. Now that I checked, in my web IDE, I only see 25. For what it’s worth I’ve seen many references like yours that rc26 will fix a lot of the problems, but there is very…

Mine wouldn’t stay connected and the Xenons kept flashing green. I did a bunch of snooping on here and traced it back to my router having the IPv6 set and I had to roll it back to IPv4, I don’t know that this is your problem. I am frustrated too. I thought these would be fun to play around with and …

[image] ScruffR: Here is the official announcement Thanks for the update. If it weren't for you, I'd never have seen that the banner at the top had changed. I really do appreciate what you do here. The Argon updated easily, and then I had a hard time getting the Xenon to take the update, i…

FWIW, I had the same issue with one of my Xenons. It tried doing the OTA update but got into some weird loop where it was flashing red/blue on and off. I resolved it by doing a factory reset and setting it up again, it’s working fine now.

Ok, @ScruffR , thanks for the update! I installed rc.26, and things went a lot smoother. I have been able to update 1 Argon and 3 Xenons, and have the soft pulsing teal light, the indicator that they are all connected and happy. I have been able to signal them from the console. Also, have been able…

[image] DevRandom: The core problem is a lack of meaningful official communication. In an effort to improve on this end, what do you think Particle could do differently? How, when, where, and what kind of information would you like to receive from Particle?
